This is a great idea but way too far ahead of its time. This is the sort of thing that would appeal more to casual gamers and there's no way enough casual gamers will pay for something that will clearly be expensive. As for the hardcore gamers, they're likely to tire out fast trying to play Halo with this so not many will buy it. Still, I absolutely love the concept! Perhaps after the military and other private/high profile buyers, costs may drop low enough for major gaming companies.
The sphere is too small. if they are able to walk or run fast enough to catch up to the curvature, its too small. give it motors to make the ball move effortlessly. just my input, very interesting though. people might not ever give up the conventional controller until it is completely realistic feeling.

from seeing the experience from the first person shooter, i noticed that he aims using his head and not his gun, which is kinda bad coz u need to turn ur WHOLE head to actually shoot something that u are holding in your hand, my idea is to put one of those position sensing devices on the gun itself and not only on the headgear, more programming would be needed as the gun can move in a different direction as what one is seeing but it would be better
@shawnaw2 i noticed that as well, but there are already complete simulator guys for computers. so they would probably just integrate with another company for the weapon simulation. i hope so at least :D
Looks interesting, though many aspects are not covered yet. As many as I can tell you right now: 1) Making this kind of sphere for the "big" people can be tricky, by "big" I mean really big, 120 kilos+ .This also goes to tall people. 2) As been mentioned, being able to jump... Well, even if this sphere is big enough for me to jump... Jumping while running in a spinning sphere can result into injury, I guess. But as far as I can tell... This is pretty much next-gen as we call it.
Look up "omnidirectional treadmill." It allows for completely natural walking, rather than the somewhat awkward walking within the VirtuSphere. It also allows for jumping and even flight with the harness. If they add the ability to tilt the treadmill, it could even simulate incline changes.
all i care about is strafing and dodging bullets.. which you can't do with this
it's an arcadey gimmick at best.
it really bothers me that bright guys are reduced to producing these dead end implementations, then having to look directly into the camera and lie their asses off about applications , , and
Use Segway type sensors to compensate for the shifting rotational direction in the structure. Same old shoot 'em up eh? Perhaps the running imerative of a ball leads to pursute and retreat type games. A virtual sailing world would not need a ball, just some hoses with cold salt water occasionally aimed down the collar and some sick making drugs to give full virtual sailing.
the only two problems they really have right now, is getting better quality games for it, and when u are playing those games, u wouldnt be able to jump
VR will never become a reality until we start experimenting with touch cranial sensory technology, these out dated hamster toys is embarrassing to even look at, you can't tell me that you can place that big hunk of junk into every bedroom or living room of America
Who cares about the exercise aspect? Ive been waiting for something like this since i Figured out what video games were. They need to make something more suitable for the home environment. Probably something like a track ball that you can walk on.
California and the other broke states wont be having this. This is not going to last. INventors have to remember that they need to target all audiences. like myself for you all in 2012
great idea but how they did it with whatever that thing is a fail. i want integration between PS-eye, PS-motion control and those 3D glasses (goggles) it be play a true virtual reality game. and ill be very happy
I really don't think this will be accessible, only people with more money than they know what to do with will buy this, it just isn't very practical, a giant ball taking up a bunch of space, it's very loud, the goggles look dorky... It just won't catch on, possibly the military could use it for training, but I really doubt it
look at the bright side, youll get to play with it at your local video arcade room or huge ass shop, afcourse itll cost 20$ for 5 minutes, or itll be somewhat close to paintball
No, that's the truth, those can't be cheap, they're noisy, in the 5 different town and cities I've lived in, none of them have had arcades! So unless you live in a big city odds are good you don't even have an arcade! I DON'T WANT ONE, OR SEE THE POINT! I think it would be a waste! I don't need rich friends because I don't fantasize about owning overly expensive toys that don't provide entertainment!!!!!
Moving on, how are you? How's the weather? how bout the wife? How's your job?
somehow im imaginating that there will stand arround 16 ball like those and youll get transported to the virtual world and there you play extreme future paintball or smth... anyway it could be something like that lazer paintball-style game if you heard about it.
Im good thnx. Its rainy and foggy. Wife left with another woman and i got fired from my job... ok...... so... antything new?
There can't be pain, too realistic. If there was pain, someone would figure out how to mod this, and turn it into some kind of sick, twisted, torture machine (Alex Rider, anyone?).
Also, Natal (Xbox) is kind of, meh... You have to actually "walk" to walk in the game right (as I understand it from that "monster game" video clip), so what if you walk really close, into the TV. o_O
Maybe walking will be like that relay race game for Mario and Sonic @ the Olympics for the Wii (walk in place).
Dude xbox is coming your with something like this but its wayy better u dont move around witht the hamster ball but its cool look up xbox360 project natal
I have a place to put it the question is if I could afford it. It's a great invention any gamer would love to get their hands on, but will they be able to get there hands on it?
No. It's not an original idea. It's the application of an idea all gamers have had at at least one point in their life. I don't see why everyone is so down on this; there is a LOT of potential. Yes, it may be too big to fit into one's home, but shit; think of the arcade possibilities! I'm not entirely impressed with the current "model" (I guess that would be the proper term?), but it's just the possibilities and potential this concept has... ... Fuck yeah, Nazi Zombies in this!
The biggest problems with tech like this is that people DONT want to move when playing games.
The only exception I can think of is dancing. Like dance revolution arcade etc, but other move games are not that successful.
I remember there was a cop game where you moved your body do dodge instead of just pressing a button. It was a good game, but people got tired playing it.
Similar with treadmill and bicycle games.
Its similar on Wii. Most play sitting down, even if its a game like bowling.
This is crap. It's not an original idea, and it's a terrible application of virtual physical control. Running around in a giant hamster ball to simulate running in a game? It's almost an incentive not to play. There needs to be some kind of comfortable, compact platform you walk around on, because the giant ball, Wii-mote, and cyber-glasses just don't cut it.
True virtual reality goes far beyond just seeing in 360 degrees in game virtual world. There is the sense of touch and smell and hearing as well and even taste. Star Trek
True virtual reality is unknown until it is here. Until then its just a word, truth96130. A fake show does not determine what the meaning of a word is either.
And all the dirt and whatever was on the bottom of your shoes is now going over your head possibly falling on you. Dos not seem to brilliant to me. Why would I really want to run in a game? I do enough work at work. Just use the head set in the video with a controller in your hand, thats all you need.
So, let me get this straight. That giant hamster ball that looks like a cage is the controller for this thing? That is some strange imagination they got.
I tell you this is a good start but it's not practical to be used as an entertainment tool ... they still have a lot of issues to solve but good start.
In the 1940s, people thought TV could never replace radio. Now we have live tv, interactive TV, multi-screen TV. When Mobile phones came out, only business men used them and even then, just for business. Now, I see kids, having full conversations through text. This, maybe 5 years ago, would have been a joke. This will be big.
To make it realistic is almost impossible i think because in racing games there are sooooo much G force involved... for FPS its perfect and for MPRPG games
immagine playing sonic 3d :D you get to run a bit :D
Think back 10 years - what did mobile phones look like then? Bulky, slow, and people thought absolute shit of them. And where are they now? In everyones' pocket.
VR Goggles has been abandoned simply because having tv screens that close to your eyes causes eye strain , end of . The future of VR will be the Wii '360 Total Body Motion Capture'
OK this is a great idea, but the technology for their games is terrible...The way the gun moves/camera and graphics ect...,it all seems and moves so artificial and looks and play dated...NOW imagine Metroid Prime 3 with Wii IR/Curser Controls, as if your arm is Samu's IN these sphere walking or running....these guys clearly dont know what the hell they're doing with games, but the hamster ball itself is great, yet noisy....
Pretty sure they are legally required to use a game they made themselves at THIS stage. No doubt that even an amateur programmer could get the sphere to act like an analog stick.
This is noisy and you could stop in an instant because the ball will just keep rolling and for that you can't change direction in an instant too... and its huge
OMFG I had this in mind when I first started out gaming then I was a lil kid, why didn't someone make a device whereby it seem like we were walking in it. And there we have it.
For those who are saying that natal is better and all that shit remember this is a prototype and that it hasn't showcase it's true potential. Besides Microsoft made the Natal cause they knew that the 360 won't make it in the near future. Therefore they made Natal to extend the 360 capability.
thats pretty incredible, iva always dreamed of beeing able to move in something like that and play like a paintball match but all virtually, thats sick
This is a cool idea and all, but I think holograms are the future. The only place the Virtue Sphere might stand a chance is in arcades, who knows maybe technology will make arcades popular again.
this actually looks worth while but why cant it be a plastic ball of something that doesn't look so chuncky and huge or they need that for sensors.....i would buy this xD haha looks sweet up!?!
problem.. it is too loud when in motion. Also problem with mass of the sphere. When you make an abrupt position change, you have innertia. A bit big too for a home environment too.
honestly when it comes to close to the reality.. the game is not a game anymore..
specially in war game, or horror game, when u have to run and be aware of the ennemies... the game wont last more than an hour. (maybe its good). and u will get tired as hell.
lol if ppl played warcraft from lvl 1-30 in that they wud find themselves being phisicaly fit cuz all u do 2 move is run. of course selecting targets wud be a problem as well as macros fighting ect.
super cool !! even when it never fit my house and i probably need an sphere chair after a few minutes but imagen yourself conected to internet serching for information yourself very exhausting...
Repent from your sins and believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ. God hate workers of iniquity. Forsake your sins. Be not conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind by reading the Bible. The day is coming when God will judge you all and no secrets will be hidden but expose widely! REPENT & BELIEVE THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST or YOU WILL GO TO HELL
I'm not listening to someone who thinks iniquity is a word, and I'm not sure I want to follow in the footsteps of someone who tries to scare me into joining their religion.
So that you'll have the comfort of privacy, and not looking like an idiot in front of others in case you are a neophyte. And for it to not get stolen and you man handled while being too busy in your own little world.
¡Excelente!

OK this is a great idea, but the technology for their games is terrible...The way the gun moves/camera and graphics ect...,it all seems and moves so artificial and looks and play dated...NOW imagine Metroid Prime 3 with Wii IR/Curser Controls, as if your arm is Samu's IN these sphere walking or running....these guys clearly dont know what the hell they're doing with games, but the hamster ball itself is great, yet noisy....
Donatello97 2 years ago
Pretty sure they are legally required to use a game they made themselves at THIS stage. No doubt that even an amateur programmer could get the sphere to act like an analog stick.

This is noisy and you could stop in an instant because the ball will just keep rolling and for that you can't change direction in an instant too... and its huge

OMFG I had this in mind when I first started out gaming then I was a lil kid, why didn't someone make a device whereby it seem like we were walking in it. And there we have it.
For those who are saying that natal is better and all that shit remember this is a prototype and that it hasn't showcase it's true potential. Besides Microsoft made the Natal cause they knew that the 360 won't make it in the near future. Therefore they made Natal to extend the 360 capability.

This is a cool idea and all, but I think holograms are the future. The only place the Virtue Sphere might stand a chance is in arcades, who knows maybe technology will make arcades popular again.

so how much is virtusphere if i buy it?
secretagent69101 2 years ago
problem.. it is too loud when in motion. Also problem with mass of the sphere. When you make an abrupt position change, you have innertia. A bit big too for a home environment too.

yeah well, it's just a project, they're developing it; i hope they can fix that kind of problems.
Razorgabo 2 years ago
honestly when it comes to close to the reality.. the game is not a game anymore..
specially in war game, or horror game, when u have to run and be aware of the ennemies... the game wont last more than an hour. (maybe its good). and u will get tired as hell.

It could be that in the future this device becomes so important for humans, that homes are design with a special room for a virtusphere alone.

Repent from your sins and believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ. God hate workers of iniquity. Forsake your sins. Be not conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind by reading the Bible. The day is coming when God will judge you all and no secrets will be hidden but expose widely! REPENT & BELIEVE THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST or YOU WILL GO TO HELL

I'm not listening to someone who thinks iniquity is a word, and I'm not sure I want to follow in the footsteps of someone who tries to scare me into joining their religion.

So that you'll have the comfort of privacy, and not looking like an idiot in front of others in case you are a neophyte. And for it to not get stolen and you man handled while being too busy in your own little world.
Does that answer your question?
